As announced end of last year Ebba Fåhraeus, CEO of SmiLe Incubator, and member of the Swedish Government Office’s advisory group for life science has decided to step down and hand over the baton to the new CEO, Ulrika Ringdahl.
No one expected Ebba to go quietly into the dark, and the celebration Wednesday night confirmed that this was certainly not an option and a successful +10 year SmiLe career. An impressive list of former and current colleagues and stakeholders including but not limited to Medicon Village CEO, Petter Hartman, mayor of the City of Lund Anders Almgren and new SmiLe CEO Ulrika had to be firmly instructed to a maximum of 3 minute speeches.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. We believe the photo below says it all and whishes Ebba Godspeed and best of luck. Ebba will btw still be around and among other thing be responsible for the strategic collaboration with Japan.
